We're delighted to announce that we're finally back up and running!

If you'd like more information about our classes and programmes, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Everything we do moving forward will be built around our FEED Programme — a proven approach developed and refined over the past few years.

FEED stands for Fitness, Education, Empowerment, and Development. It provides a comprehensive, wraparound service for both young people and adults, focusing not only on physical and mental wellbeing but also on developing essential life skills and improving employability opportunities.

We have made it our mission to support individuals in building confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to thrive both personally and professionally.

How much of the FEED programmes you or your organisations wish to get involved in is up to you.

For more information please get in touch.

🌟 Summer 2026 at Community Training Academy (July and August)🌟

This summer, we’re pleased to finally invite new volunteers/placements to step into a season of growth, connection, and purpose.

Our placements span team building, business administration, finance, personal training, nutrition, cooking, and youth work. Each pathway offers hands‑on experience, confidence‑building, and the chance to make a real impact.

1. Lead and collaborate through team challenges.
2. Discover how community organisations work and thrive.
3. Share the joy of healthy living.
4. Cook meals that bring people together.
5. Inspire and support young people to believe in themselves.

Volunteers will also help us run youth programmes, assist with fundraisers like community sports days, healthy cooking training and team‑building workshops. Every event strengthens our mission: Support Through Sport.

Whether you want to learn, to lead, or to lift others up, Community Training Academy is the place to grow this summer.

For more information please get in touch.

Volunteer expenses paid and free access to all classes included!

We are working on an idea for our new space and would like your help with something. If you were to have an external birthday party for a young person, including food.. How much as a parent would this cost you and how long would you have the space for? Many thanks in advance... We are always trying to save people money, so any thoughts on this are welcome 😁
